Dedicated circuits
Oven — own circuit (3-4 kW → 2.5-4 mm², C20-C25). Hob — own (7 kW → 6 mm², C32). Washer + dishwasher — separate circuits. Each with RCD 30 mA.
Socket planning
10+ sockets: work zone above the counter (every 60 cm), for appliances (fridge, microwave, hood, kettle), dining zone. In the cabinet — for dishwasher and washing machine.
Lighting layers
General light, work zone under the upper cabinets, hood lighting, dining pendant. Scenes are convenient: work/guest.
Ventilation
Hood — power and control circuit; range hoods with motor need a dedicated circuit.
Water safety
Sockets above the sink — no; RCD 10 mA near water; all work zone sockets — with shutters.
Why a project
Rewiring a kitchen after the cabinets are installed is impossible. The project fixes the sockets at the right heights before the walls close.
